MATERIAL AND AESTHETICS IN CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE
With Merit Schongar
Saturday, April 06 | 2:30 pm | 60 min.
From the perspective of trained wood sculptor Merit Schongar, visitors will be introduced to the complexity of techniques and materials in contemporary sculpture. Sculptures such as Tracy Emin's I lay here for you, Georg Baselitz's Sing Sang Zero and Robert Longo's When Heaven and Hell Change Places (7 day version) are overwhelming in their monumental size and raise questions about the artistic creative process and the craftsmanship involved.

FREIHEITEN (IN) DER WIEDERHOLUNG
Christine Litz gives a guided tour of the exhibition Peter Dreher: The Happy Sisyphus
Saturday | April 27, 2024 | 3 p.m.
Peter Dreher (1932-2020) wanted to paint an invisible picture. That is, of course, impossible. But it was feasible to paint as simple a picture as possible. This resulted in his now iconic series of water glasses, entitled Tag um Tag, guter Tag. Over 5000 paintings have been created in this series from 1974 to the present day. Why does an artist paint the same motif over and over again over a period of more than 40 years? What changes in him and in the paintings?
Dr. Christine Litz is an art historian and currently Director of the Museum für Neue Kunst, Freiburg. She specializes in modern and contemporary art and has worked for the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, skulptur projekte münster and dOCUMENTA (13), among others. She is concerned with the functions, responsibilities and possibilities of the museum as an institution.
